Apple's iOS11 - due for release this fall - will support an API for 'TCP Multipath'. So what does that have to do with Wi-Fi, you say? Well, a lot, actually. It means that app developers, carriers, anyone with services running on iOS11 will finally be able to combine Wi-Fi and cellular into a sin...

Actually the answer yes, we are limited by these resources. But there are actually some affords to use the light band Millimeter wave (mmWave) where it lies between 30 GHz and 300 GHz, this spectrum can be used for high-speed wireless communications as seen with the latest 802.11ad Wi-Fi standard...

Wi-Fi is not as ubiquitous as cellular but finding Wi-Fi is like finding a coffee shop. Though there are initiatives to make it more ubiquitous as it has potential to cater largest share of internet data flowing over wireless access networks.
Before going into the main theme of cellular (note, t...

The more I look at enterprise mobile, especially its focus on verticals and IoT, the more I'm convinced there needs to be a change in industry structure, regulation and network ownership/operation. And that means new spectrum policy, as well.

The original purpose of small cells was to efficiently reuse spectrum as a capacity solution – not as a replacement for cell towers. However, outdoor small cell use as a coverage solution has grown significantly, both in rural areas and dense urban areas.

In this part, I want to share my view of that perfect future and the opportunities around Wi-Fi.
Our lives are made up of a complex network of pathways that we can use to move from one phase of life to the next. The first step in determining which "next step" will land us to the most direct route...

Wi-Fi is 18 now! The journey to now has been a tremendous one. It started in 1999, yet it seems just like yesterday. Six companies (3Com, Aironet, Harris Semiconductor, Lucent, Nokia and Symbol Technologies) came together to form a global non-profit association Wi-Fi Alliance.

Ignore any reports of WiFi's demise, or the ability of 4G/5G to replace it in the future. It's simply not going to happen, except in a couple of tiny overlaps on the big wireless Venn diagram. WiFi puts downward pricing pressure on cellular data - it's probably part of the reason for the return o...

With '5G' (whatever that is) likely more than 5 years away (if it happens) this could be a good time to point out that high-performance, low-latency, low cost wireless is already here and it's called Wi-Fi. So why wait for 5G to happen?
